Hallie's first Cross Country Meet (by Hallie)

This year I decided to do Cross Country because when I saw lots of people going I got interested and I'm a good runner. I practice every Monday and Wednesday.
On Saturday I had my first meet. There were hundreds of kids from many schools in Kentucky running.

When I was in line ready for the race there was a guy that told us the instructions and then he shot the gun and we started to race. I sprinted to the first cone and jogged the rest of the way and zig-zagged around other competitors from different schools on the track and in the woods.

When I finished there was water and they put cold wet clothes around our necks.

I felt really good to finish my first meet.
